JOHNNY DEPP ISN’T SO SPECIAL, AFTER ALL

Many delusions were shattered last week when the news broke that Johnny Depp, 50, just got engaged to Amber Heard, 27. Johnny has long been on a unique pedestal – many women believed he was special and sensitive – not the typical Hollywood actor. This was reinforced by the fact the he lived happily in the French countryside with French actress/singer Vanessa Paradis, 41, and their two children for years. Their split was disappointing, but it soon became apparent that Johnny had new ideas. Or maybe not so new. He isn’t the man many fans thought he was- Johnny’s just another aging actor smitten with a sexy young blonde starlet, and he couldn’t care less about the 23 year age difference or cultural gap.

Love is love, don’t understand the catty character assassination from you Janet. Word on the street was he & Vanessa were on the rocks & done awhile before his fling with Amber.

You cut her down with your quote “just another aging actor smitten with a sexy young blonde starlet”. Give her a little more credit, she’s more than that.

JD lost his appeal YEARS ago. He went from being an interesting alt actor to being a rich Hollywood cliche. That includes the long life of pixie/elf type “girls” he has been with and his strong support for child rapist Roman Polanski.

I find it more interesting that after years of living with someone, Depp has now decided to go the traditional route and actually get married. I’ve done both, with two different partners, and I can tell you, at least from my experience, that marriage makes for a stronger commitment. OR, maybe Heard insisted on it, which I don’t have a problem with either. And re: the age difference, well, time will tell. George Clooney seems utterly incapable of being with women in his age arena, as do most other A-list stars of the past and present (just off the top of my head, Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart, Charlie Chaplin, Harrison Ford, and on and on…) —

Why do successful high profile men with notoriety and financial security seem to go after much younger beautiful women? Because they CAN. But there is a price to pay..and in so many ways. Live and learn. Ouch.

Dear Countess:

“Give her a little more credit, she’s more than that”.

Darn right, she is more than that; she has romanced more women than Bill Clinton. And in her own words she has said she has been in love with and had affairs with women. Depp is a damn fool to get mixed up with this BI skank.

It is true, however, that Vanessa and Depp had been having trouble for a while.

He probably can’t wait to knock her up. There goes his “old kids” fortune.

I have never gotten his “appeal”. He always looks dirty, like he smells, rotten teeth etc. Good luck to her, she will leave him for another woman eventually

He was a pretty boy when he was young, but it’s been a long time since he’s had anything that a mature woman would find attractive. He just a self-involved dandy. Only a young woman would be fooled by him.

she just wouldn’t listen when I told her.

“cultural gap” ???? and you measure this how ? one of your weaker posts Janet.

By stromOn January 21, 2014 at

True; Amber, like Hillary Clinton, has a reputation for a massive lust for female sex.

I think he is creepy & repulsive! Yeah he supported Roman P(creepy & repulsive) & Damien Echols (creepy & repulsive). Something is not right about him!

I think this quote by James Woods sums up how men feel about women: “If you ever bought a dog what did you buy? You bought a f**king puppy… You don’t buy a thirteen-year-old german shepherd. You buy a nice young puppy – what are you crazy?”

By NGOn January 21, 2014 at

Natalie – How about NOT buying a puppy and NOT a 13 year old German Shepard but a 7 year old puppy that has already been potty trained and knows how to behave but is not near being UNTRAINABLE or near the grave.

LOL!

By xyzcOn January 21, 2014 at

@Paula – Damien Echols and his pals were set up. Educate urself. Dont mix them with the scummy Polanski.

By PaulaOn January 22, 2014 at

After years of being sober, the less famous friend has fallen HARD off the wagon and our gal doesn’t know what to do. She’s hosted an intervention, hired an addiction specialist, and even threatened to end the friendship, but nothing seems to work. What’s a girl to do?
